GENERAL

The MiniLinx-1000 is a portable multi-

channel transmitter / receiver unit

designed principally for use as an up to

eight serial data + Ethernet2 fibre optic

transmission link on a single fibre for

12G-SDI1, 6G-SDI1, 3G-SDI, HD-SDI or

SD-SDI applications using 9/125 μm single

mode fibre.

In addition, the link may be used for ASI

transport streams for use with MPEG

compressed video streams, or other

270 Mb/s type data.

The Ethernet interface takes either a 10G

or 1G optical or electrical plug-in SFP+

module (sold separately).

The MiniLinx-1000 conforms to SMPTE

standards 2082-11, 2081-11, 424M, 292M

and 259M-C for digital video signals, as well

as the DVB standard for ASI; and IEEE

802.2ae and 802.3z standards for Ethernet

over fibre or IEEE 802.3an and 802.3ab

standards for Ethernet over CAT-6/5 cable.

Transmit and receive functions of the video

signals and Ethernet signals are combined

via an on board CWDM optical combiner

allowing combined bi-directional operation

on a single fibre.

Power is supplied by an external +12Vdc

power supply, with a secondary external

+12Vdc input port provided for power

supply redundancy.

The MiniLinx-1000 is designed to be

operated as a transmit/receive pair and is

orderable as either an 8-channel

transmitter only; an 8-channel receiver

only; a 6-channel transmitter + 2-channel

receiver; a 6-channel receiver + 2-channel

transmitter; a 4-channel transmitter +

4-channel receiver; a 4-channel receiver +

4-channel transmitter; a 6-channel

transmitter only; a 6-channel receiver only; a

4-channel transmitter + 2-channel receiver; a

4-channel receiver + 2-channel transmitter; a

4-channel transmitter only; a 4-channel

receiver only; a 2-channel transmitter +

2-channel receiver; or a 2-channel receiver +

2-channel transmitter. All models available

with or without the bi-directional Ethernet

port.

Monitoring is possible locally via the front

panel display or remotely via a web

browser.

Version variations:

APD detector version Add /APD to end of part number, e.g. MiniLinx-1000/8Tx/APD (not available in 12G version).

Optical Connector Standard optical connector is an SC/PC type. For other connector types, add to end of part

number /FC for FC/PC type; /LC for LC/PC type; or /ST for ST/PC type.

APC Fibre type Standard optic fibre type is SC/PC. For Angle Physical Connector type (APC), add /APC to end of

part number.

Example: MiniLinx-1000/4Tx+4Rx+10E/12G/APD/FC/APC is a 12G version with 4 transmitters and 4

receivers plus a 10G Ethernet port fitted with APD detectors and terminated in an FC/APC style

of connector.

Plug-in Ethernet SFPs:

SFP-1G-OPT-SM 1G Ethernet single-mode, MSA, generic optical transceiver SFP (LC/PC optical connectors);

SFP-1G-OPT-MM 1G Ethernet multi-mode, MSA, generic optical transceiver SFP (LC/PC optical connectors);

SFP-1G-RJ45 1G Ethernet Cat 5/6, MSA, generic electrical transceiver SFP (RJ45 connector).

SFP-10G-OPT-SM 10G Ethernet single-mode, MSA, generic optical transceiver SFP (LC/PC optical connectors);

SFP-10G-OPT-MM 10G Ethernet multi-mode, MSA, generic optical transceiver SFP (LC/PC optical connectors);

SFP-10G-RJ45 10G Ethernet Cat 5/6, MSA, generic electrical transceiver SFP (RJ45 connector).

Ethernet versions of the MiniLinx-1000 come with an Ethernet port suitable for third party MSA compliant 10G or 1G Ethernet SFP’s.

As there are a number of different manufacturers of Ethernet routers, and there is a large choice of Ethernet SFP transceivers available,

the MiniLinx-1000 does not come with an Ethernet SFP as standard. We can offer a limited choice of generic Ethernet SFP’s (sold

separately, as above), but if it is wished to match a specific brand of router then it is recommended that these be sourced from a third

party supplier.

The MiniLinx-1000/8Tx and MiniLinx-1000/8Rx models are designed to operate together as a pair. They form an 8-channel
